Appropriations
To Be First In
90th Assembly
Appropriations will occupy their
usual No. 1 place on the legislative
agenda of the new 90th General
Assembly that convenes here Janu
ary 13.
Odds are that the money bill
will show state spending, from all
sources, of about $165 million
About $145 million ol this may
show in the appropriations bill
the assembly will enact. The rest
will come from certain earmark
ed revenues and from fedeal aid.
Such a budget would be in line
with this year’s which is pegged
to $140 1-2 millions in state spend
ing shown in the money bill.
If requests from state agencies,
institutions and departments were
met. tht* overall state budget would
be about $200 million.
The basis of the money bill will
be the Budget and Control Board’s
annual report and recommenda
tions. due to be made shortly be
fore the assembly meets.
Biggest pressure on the board
lias been to recommend a general
pay increase for state employees,
including public school teachers.
The employees f have asked for "JO
per cent, and the teachers are in-
trested in varying increases that
will average between 20 and 30 pe*r
cent.
Public welfare wants more state*
dollars for its joinf tederal-state
aid' 1 program. And all down the
line there are requests for more
money.
The bill will be late starting be
cause the House Ways and Means
Committee which authors the bill,
must be appointed, must organize,
and must hold hearings on the
budget.

"Auld Lang Syne”
Is Integral Part
Of New Year’s Fete
“Auld Lang Syne” has become
such an integral part of our modern
New Year’* eve that no celebra
tion, however gay. would be com
plete without it.
The music sheets for those nos
talgic strains simply say “Robert
Burns—Scotch Air”, and Robert
Bums generally is supposed to
have written it after he had settled
down on a farm and taken himself
a wife, following the sweeping suc
cess in 1778 of the second edition of
his “Poems.” Well and good, but
Auld Lang Syne was not exclu
sively a Burns’ product, nor did he
claim it to be.
In a letter to George Thomson, a
publisher, Bums explained:
“It is an old song of olden times,
which has never been in print. I
Defense Officials
Ask 53,000 Men
Washington.—The Defense De
partment today asked Selective
Service for 53,000 draftees in
February, the biggest levy for 1
manpower in almost two years.
All requests are for the Aitny.
The Navy, Marine Corps and
Air Force have returned to their
original programs of depending on
volunteer recruiting.
Today’s announcement brings
the total of all calls since the draft
Mr. * and
RAMAGE
Mrs. David
Franklin
took it down from an old man’s
singing.”
Modern scholarship has discov
ered that Bums was wrong when
he told Thomson “Auld Lang Syne”
never had been in print. Its re
frain. at least, was printed obscure
ly long before Bums heard his
“old man singing.”
Further, the original song often
has been credited to Sir Robert Ay-
toun (1570-1638). Aytoun was one
of the earliest Scots to use the low
land dialect as a literary medium.
Multitudes of Americans descended
from non-British stock are perpet
ually mystified by this dialect, nor
does it seem to make much sense
in (he standard English transla
tion.
Regardless of its original author
and origim it was Burns who gave
“Auld Lang Syne” its immortality.
New Yeor's Gifts
Were Once Sacred
The Druids distributed branches
of the sacred mistletoe, cut with
peculiar ceremonies, as new year’s
gifts to the people and the Saxons
observed the day with gifts and fes
tivals.
The Roman custom of making
gilts to the emperor was intro
duced into England as early as the
time of Henry III and Queen Eliza
beth is supposed to have supplied
herself with her jewels and ward
robe almost entirely from these
gifts.
As late as 1692 the English nobil
ity were accustomed every year to
send to the King a purse with gold
in it.
Under the Tudors and the Stuarts
it was the habit of all classes to'
give presents to friends with the
wish that the New Year might be
happy.
Ladies received presents of
gloves or pins, which were then ex
pensive. Sometimes the gifts were
compounded in money and from
this practice we have the term
“pin money.”
Resolutions 'Silly'
Psychiatrists Say
According to a number of psy
chiatrists, New Year’s resolutions
are just a bit silly. They believe
that a person who makes resolu
tions is something of an exhibition
ist in addition to being quite
childish.
One psychiatrist said he didn’t
think resolutions the best method
of curbing little differences and
correcting mistakes. The best
method is giving some thought to
what causes our troubles and try
ing to correct them rationally.

The February levy compares)
with peak calls for 80,000 men in
January, February and March,
1951. The next highest call was
70,000 for November, 1950.
The statement today said that:
‘‘In announcing the February
call, the Department of Defense
points out that after the outbreak
of hostiliies in Korea, he rapid
expansion of the Ar®y required
the induction of large numbers of
individuals through the Selective
Service system. The Selective Ser
vice calls reached a peak during
January, Fbruary and March of
1951, when over 80,000 were in
ducted each month.
“Now, two years later, these
men must be replaced as they com
plete their two-year period of ac
tive service, in order to maintain
approved strengths. The increase
in the call for February over those
made during previous months is a
direct reflection on these increased
losses. It also should be consid
ered in light of the plans for ear
lier release of Amy inductee vet
erans of Kfcmea annoi#vced Dec.
